Description

The moving and handling of other people is a key part of the working day for a lot of carers and care staff – if you are one of them then this course is for you.

Poor moving and handling technique can lead to short-term or even long-term pain for the carer or the person being handled, and over the course of this day you will learn the recognised techniques to prevent or minimise the risk of injury.

No. You can simply contact us at training@civicostraining.org with your name, organisation, billing address and a note of any access issues. We will issue an invoice in advance of your attendance.

What refreshments are served at the training?

Two free rounds of tea, coffee and biscuits are served on arrival and at mid-morning. There is no free lunch. The venue’s café serves hot and cold food on a cash basis.
